Chapter 1623 - 908: Heavy Artillery Plan
"I think what you encountered on the road might be related to the Fraudster Park in Yue Country," Third Uncle said.
Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I also vaguely feel that way."
"By the way, Third Uncle, when you left, you didn’t let them follow, did you?"
"Of course not! We circled around several times to get here, besides, they couldn’t catch up with us. Rest assured, now my only worry is whether our previous method of using heavy artillery combined with Zombie Attraction Potion will work...."
Hearing this, Li Yu frowned and said:
"The number of zombies is too small, and I don’t know how far this Zombie Attraction Potion can attract them, but from before, zombies over a hundred kilometers away could be attracted."
"However, zombies also take time to move; even though they are tireless and walk all night, it still takes over ten hours to cover a hundred kilometers."
"In ten hours, it will already be daylight."
....
As Li Yu continued to speak, he felt a burst of difficulty.
This is a bit troublesome.
There are indeed some cities over a hundred kilometers away, but it takes zombies too long to get here.
This way, it gives the fraudsters enough time to repair and block the wall.
If we first deploy the Zombie Attraction Potion and wait for the zombies to arrive, then bombard them with heavy artillery, it might work.
But Li Yu and the others’ safety cannot be ensured.
After all, they don’t know if the migrating zombies will pass by them.
They have no walls or concrete buildings here, making it difficult to withstand a large wave of zombies.
Bringing zombies here might cause collateral damage, which would be troublesome.
On the other hand, migrating zombies over a hundred kilometers away like to move at night and hide in dark places during the day.
Now, it’s summer, with dark hours only from seven in the evening to a little over five the next morning, giving less than eleven hours of darkness.
Calculating the journey, it’s impossible for zombies from cities over a hundred kilometers away to reach that Fraudster Park; they might even be closer to them by the time they arrive during the day.
Thinking of this, Li Yu made a decision.
"Third Uncle, you said that park is less than 250 acres, right?"
Third Uncle nodded, "Yes, it looks about the same size as our Inner City, maybe smaller. After all, we have two mountains in our Inner City...."
Li Yu looked at the photos Third Uncle took, seeing dozens of scattered buildings, and on the right side, a dark area that looks like a planting area.
The photos are somewhat blurry, as they were taken from the air.
"Third Uncle, I feel the Zombie Attraction Potion doesn’t have much effect this time; we might as well just bombard them directly.
Coupled with mortars, we brought more than a dozen mortars, which have an attack range of five or six kilometers."
"I think within a hundred kilometers, there aren’t many zombies; although we can’t use the Zombie Attraction Potion effectively, thinking about it another way, it actually favors us."
"Benefits?" Third Uncle raised an eyebrow, looking at Li Yu.
Seeing Third Uncle’s confusion, Li Yu explained:
"Yes, the benefit is that night is their most relaxed time. We’ve always thought about bombing them at the transition of day and night, worried about the sound of artillery attracting surrounding zombies.
But now we don’t have to worry about this at all, so let’s go for it!
Start bombarding them at midnight, keep bombing, blowing all their buildings. Anyway, they don’t have that many people or buildings.
Bombard them all night, leave them unrested, and deplete their strength as much as possible.
The next morning, we’ll take mortars to a few kilometers nearby and bomb them again.
Then, Third Uncle, you coordinate from the air with helicopters.
Once the walls are blown down, we bring infantry fighting vehicles in and finish them off head-on.
This time, we don’t need the Zombie Attraction Potion; we’ll unleash heavy weapons and annihilate them as much as possible."
"Without the Zombie Attraction Potion?" Third Uncle muttered.
Then he spoke, "Alright, I think it’s okay, but there’s one thing I just thought of, let me tell you.
Before the bombardment, we need to do our best to take protective measures, as we have no walls here.
Although surrounded by forests, these primitive forests are wet and dark; perhaps there are some zombies inside that we haven’t found.
Therefore, before bombardment, besides making protective preparations, send people to search the surroundings while it’s still light. If there are no zombies, that’s good; if there are many, we need to reconsider."
Li Yu heard this, and his heart skipped a beat.
The situation Third Uncle mentioned is unlikely but still possible.
After all, zombies are mobile; migrating from cities to forests is possible.
Li Yu just realized something, seeing those bodies hanging along the way.
According to Third Uncle initially, the surrounding area is sparsely populated within dozens of kilometers, suggesting fewer zombies, which had been Li Yu’s prior experience.
However, if there are no zombies, why hang bodies?
Li Yu’s initial guess was that the bodies attract zombies for base security.
But if there aren’t many zombies, why hang the bodies?
Unless there are many zombies, hidden in the dense forest and valleys during the day.
But this conflicts with Li Yu’s previous zombie experiences: more people means more zombies.
Therefore, only two possibilities exist:
1. The bodies hung on trees aren’t to attract zombies, but for unknown reasons by the fraudsters, especially given Third Uncle’s mention of the park’s oddity.
2. There are many zombies around, potentially migrated from elsewhere but hidden in the forest during the day, undiscovered by Li Yu and Third Uncle.
